What is Marez 'doing' to Wasilewski?

 

[londonfox]

I guess Albrighton was so poor against Villa he deserved to lose his place in the squad?

I'd rather see Wood as the lone striker than Vardy, if Ulloa isn't fit enough to start. I'm assuming it can only be lack of fitness that is keeping him on the bench.

Thank Christ Aguerro isn't playing. He would tear Wasilewski, Morgan, and Kinchesky to shreds.

I can't see us scoring at all today. In terms of a goal threat I can't remember us having a weaker front line since the days of Waghorn (excuse my French)

Don´t know about anyone else, but I´m up for a bit of French Double Penetration

What is Marez 'doing' to Wasilewski?

Searching him for the H that is missing from his name perhaps?

 

[The Old Fox]

I don't expect us to be challenging Manchester City for league position, but gosh, this shows the gulf. This is not so much men versus boys, as men versus babies! It just shows how weak our squad is....

Nobody will be happier should I be proved wrong, but at the minute, I'd be delighted were they keep them down to five!

 

[pork pie fox]

Dzeko injured in the warm up for them.

Why the ****ity is it a surprise that a newly promoted team has a vastly inferior team to the reigning champions?

Big news coming out of Leicester, where Edin Dzeko has pulled up injured in the warm-up and is replaced by the boy nicknamed the 'Mini Messi', 18-year-old Jose Pozo.

Shows how inadequately we were set up for the season.

However, at the end of the day we are at home and it is 11 professional footballer v 11 professional footballers aand strange things can happen.

If we'd spent another 20m we'd still be nowhere near their quality.

Is Nuge injured or just left out? Assume Wood is just left out.

Strange to see Powell on the bench - not surprised by the starting lineup but the bench seems strange with how much it's changed.

15 mins and we're still 0-0. Sounds on SSN like Vardy's pace is causing problems.

Powell was on the bench last week as well.

 

[londonfox]

Vardy's pace has caused problems for every team so far this season but to this point all we have to show for it is one goal and one penalty won against United.

 

[LCFC'sGodWears9]

There's a real biased nob of a commentator on the stream I am watching..

We've had 3 attempts, they've had 1, yet apparently it's us who are struggling to create any chances when we have the ball..

Cambiasso just whistled a free kick wide and Joe Hart gave him the thumbs up from his goal, class.

 

[LCFC'sGodWears9]

Shape looks good today, Mahrez looks a threat as do Schlupp and Vardy.

 

[LCFC'sGodWears9]

Super save from Hamer to deny Toure, their first moment of real quality.
